Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1241: Uncle’s Joy

Ning Ge and the others were busy figuring out how to get rid of the big mouse, while Cheng Su and their little family life went on in a simple and fulfilling manner, and with Xiao Yun around, the days were filled with laughter and passed quickly.

Meanwhile, over at Qi Taiguo’s side, the days were filled with training new recruits, with increasingly heavy tasks. Everyone grumbled about it, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and endure.

On the last day of July, a congratulatory call came from back home—Qi Jianguo had been accepted into university and had received the admission letter.

The university wasn’t close by, but coincidentally, it was right in Guangcheng.

Upon hearing the name of the university, Cheng Su nodded secretly. Although it didn’t match renowned institutions like Yanjing University in the Capital, the university that Qi Jianguo got into was still one of the best in Guangcheng.

Aside from Cheng Su, an outsider, Qi Jianguo was the only one in the Qi family to get into university. Indeed, even his twin, Qi Fengping, didn’t make it and failed the entrance exam.

Getting into university was like crossing a single-log bridge with thousands of others, fiercely competitive. So, Qi Fengping not getting in didn’t dampen the Qi family’s happiness at all. In Mother Qi’s eyes, as long as a woman could read and write a bit, why did she need a university education?

Moreover, Qi Fengping had already completed high school, could graduate, and find a good job. Whether she got into university or not didn’t matter; what mattered was that her brother did, which was truly something to glorify the family name.

In those days, getting into university was difficult, making it a remarkable achievement worth celebrating. In Mother Qi and the others’ opinion, they should hold some banquets and invite everyone in the village, along with friends and relatives, to join the celebration, as it was prestigious.

”The days in August are good, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s set up some banquets. Taiguo, can you get some free time to come back?” Father Qi asked.

Qi Taiguo said he might have to prepare for an assignment during the festival and might not have time. He then turned to Cheng Su and said, ”Can you make time to go back?”

Father Qi looked a bit disappointed upon hearing that. The youngest son getting into university was a reason for the family to gather and celebrate with a meal, as it was a joyful event. But, he also knew there was no choice, since the eldest son was in the military and had difficulty leaving.

”If your wife is free, let her come back. This is a big joyous occasion, she should come for the celebration meal,” Father Qi said.

”Alright, I got it!”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Taiguo looked at Cheng Su and said, ”They said they’re having some banquets on August 13th and asked you to go back for the celebration meal. So...”

Cheng Su pondered for a moment and said, ”Since you can’t go back, I’ll return then. Xiao Yun and the others might be going back as well, so we’ll go together at that time.”

Getting into university was a joy for his younger brother. Qi Taiguo, as the eldest brother, couldn’t return because he was in the military and couldn’t leave. If she, as the sister-in-law, didn’t go back, it might be frowned upon, leading to gossip. So, it was decided she would go back.

Qi Taiguo sighed in relief and said, ”Alright. In that case, you’ll probably have to stay at home for a few days. Help out if you can, and if you can’t, don’t worry about it.”

Cheng Su understood what he meant and said, ”Got it. If it’s something that can be solved with money, I’ll use money to solve it. The rest doesn’t matter.”

Qi Taiguo grinned and said, ”Exactly, money is a great thing.”

”Of course!” Cheng Su added, ”Tomorrow is Luh Kai’s wedding. Come back from the army in the afternoon and let’s go to the wedding banquet!”

”Alright!” Qi Taiguo nodded just as a messenger came over to call him into formation.
